Former Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie retires

Former Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie announced his retirement on social media, according to NFL.com.

Cromartie was drafted No. 19 overall by the Chargers back in 2006 and played four seasons with them before moving on to the New York Jets. He recorded a career-high and league-leading 10 interceptions during his second season.

Perhaps his most memorable moment the NFL came off of a missed field goal, which he returned from the back of the end zone for a 109-yard touchdown. After that, people nationwide realized what a special talent Cromartie really was.

The four-time Pro-Bowler retires at the age of 33, after having sat out the entire 2017 season. He bounced around the league a bit, playing for the Chargers, Jets, Arizona Cardinals, and Indianapolis Colts.

Cromartie spent four of his 11 seasons with the Bolts, appearing in 64 games, accumulating 165 tackles, 15 interceptions, 42 passes defended and two fumble recoveries. He made one of his four Pro-Bowl appearance with the Chargers and was also named once as a member of the All-Pro First Team by the Associated Press.
